You’ll leave with realistic, actionable strategies to help you move forward without burning out.

2. Getting Set Up on Shopify

If you’re ready to take your business online—or improve your current eCommerce offer—this hands‑on session is the perfect place to start. Shopify is one of the world’s leading eCommerce platforms, trusted by nearly 4 million businesses globally, with over half of its merchants benefiting from returning customers. It’s a powerful tool for creating an online shop that works for you 24/7.

This workshop demystifies the process of getting started. From building your store to creating listings and using Shopify’s built‑in sales and marketing tools, you’ll gain the confidence to create a professional, effective online presence.

What you’ll learn

• How to set up your Shopify store and begin selling online
